Neapolitan piastra
The piastra was the most common silver coin of the mainland Kingdom of Sicily, also known as the Kingdom of Naples. In order to distinguish it from the piastra issued on the island of Sicily, it is referred to as the "Neapolitan piastra" as opposed to the "Sicilian piastra". These two piastra were equal but were subdivided differently. The Neapolitan piastra was divided into 120 ''grana'' (singular: ''grano''), each of 2 ''tornesi'' (singular: ''tornese'') or 12 ''cavalli'' (singular: ''cavallo''). There were also the ''carlino'' worth 10 grana and the ''ducato'' worth 100 grana.
In 1812, the Neapolitan lira was introduced by the occupying French in an attempt to decimalize the Nepolitan currency units. However the attempt failed and the decimalization was limited to changing the value of the ''cavallo'' to one tenth of a ''grano''. After restoration of Bourbon control, a single currency was issued for the whole of the Two Sicilies, see Two Sicilies piastra. This new piastra was subdivided in the same way as the Neapolitan piastra.
==Coins==
In the late 18th century, coins circulated in denominations of 3, 4, 6, 9 and 12 cavalli, 3, 5, 8 and 10 tornesi, 10 (''carlino''), 20 (''tarì''), 60 (''mezza piastra'') and 120 grana (''piastra'') and 2, 3 and 6 ducati. On occasion also a 50 and 100 grana silver pieces had been struck, but not in the 18th century. The cavalli and tornesi denominations were struck in copper, with the grana denominations up to the ''piastra'' struck in silver and the higher denominations in gold.
In 1799, the short-lived Neapolitan Republic issued copper 4 and 6 tornesi, and silver 6 and 12 carlini. The restored kingdom resumed coin production, issuing many of the earlier denominations, plus copper 4 and 6 tornesi. In 1810, a gold 40 ''franchi'' coin was issued, a prelude to the introduction of the lira three years later.
